  • This should generally only be necessary if running server plugins that are not compatible with hibernation

The title is different.

Also, why bother posting the update info when the bot will do it automatically a few minutes later? It was funny the first time, but really just a waste of time/effort in general.

The bot didn't reply to the thread, a staff member merged the threads together.

 

[Muddy]

Is this a thing now, trying to head the bot off at the pass whenever there's an update?
